Team USA flag football star wants opportunity to make Olympic team amid NFL participation

Our Summary
NFL players will have the chance to join the Team USA flag football team at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Darrell Doucette III, current quarterback for the U.S. men’s national team, expressed his hopes for flag football specialists to earn spots despite competition from professional NFL players. The U.S. team is the reigning world champion, having won five consecutive titles. Doucette, who once claimed he was better suited than Patrick Mahomes for flag football due to his game IQ, emphasized the team's readiness to win gold. NFL owners have unanimously approved player participation in the event.
